Plagiarism

A highly important aspect of academic writing involves avoiding plagiarism, the intentional or unintentional theft of another's intellectual ideas. For detailed information on paraphrasing/summarizing information that will help writers avoid issues of plagiarism, please visit: A Statement on Plagiarism

In addition, whenever any information is borrowed from another source and properly paraphrased, the writer still needs to include an in-text citation and a reference page, indicating the origins of the information to the reader.
